Finlay is still very much a kitten - although he looks much older in some photos - he’s not 1 yet
Yesterday he was looking very tiny with DP

Frederick wants to join in the long cat competition, and his fluffy bits aren't a trap. He loves tummy tickles.

Not quite as long as the others, but Darcie's usual sleeping position is curled up in a little ball. This was her determined to interrupt my work.

You were cruel to him, Grumpy.

Fancy not letting the poor fellow into your house.

Shady is demanding his belly rubs (definitely not a trap)

raises hand Do they have to be your cat, or can they be a NotOurCat visitor? I quite fancy a years supply of chocolate buttons. Although I suspect Grumpy will win with that door photo. TC does look rather magnificent.

I'll win, then, since TC now lives at my house and is eating us out of house and home.

@PurpleSparkledPixie
NMCs may be entered.

NMCs who don't live near your house anymore may not. Looking at you, Grumpy.

Cat One is a long cat. He prefers being round, so I have very little evidence.

prettybird · 01/07/2024 09:56

Fully the length of my leg and beyond, keeping me trapped in the bed.

This is mini Pollock at about 6 months old. She is, in fact, a very small cat (now 2.5years old) and still looks like she's just out of kitten-hood. Yet weirdly she's super long when stretched out!
(I'm not tall but not particularly short-arse either 😆)

Just asked Mrs G if she'd seen Sybil recently - was told to look in DS2's washing basket.

Sybil will not be entering the long cat competition 🤣

Breadcat24 · 01/07/2024 14:49

I would say breadcat is petit but short and a bit stumpy legged would be more accurate!
If you do a cat width comp she is getting a bit podgy! Good chance there!
Normally in the summer she is out and about but the weather is a bit miserable.

In other news I have taken on a share of an allotment and there seem to be at least 4 cats that visit- tabby, all black, tuxedo and !!! a long haired all white long haired one.

I will try to get pictures!

TheShellBeach · 01/07/2024 14:51

Right, @Breadcat24 the next comp will be Width.

There will be no owner's prize for the Rectangular Shaped Cat round.

@TheShellBeach you're being mean to Grumpy. Has Gizmo taken over control of your account?
